While mobile homes offer an alternative to conventional single-family housing in such areas as structural design, facility arrangement and cost, they can have potential adverse impacts on a residential neighborhood because of marked differences from single-family housing in design, placement, structure and site size, and fire and wind resistance. Generally, mobile homes have been restricted to locations within mobile home parks, positioned at areas specifically zoned for them, in order to assure compatibility with nearby residential uses. However, through the application of certain standards, mobile homes and mobile home sites may be designed to more closely resemble nearby conventional housing and be permitted outside mobile home parks and within residential zoning districts. This subchapter presents specific conditions and standards whereby mobile homes may be located outside of mobile home parks.
